Just FYI, since I keep seeing people make this assumption, EP isn't the first CC-licensed RPG. It's predated by at least The Shadow of Yesterday, the author of which releases all his stuff under a CC license. It might still be the first mainstream game, though I'll leave that to someone else to source. 174.6.90.6 ( talk) 09:16, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm reading "Altered Carbon" by Richard Morgan at the moment. The novel seems to encompass many motifs seen in "Eclipse Phase" the RPG. Including the concept of re-sleeving - which I hadn't previously encountered.
Which way did the ideas flow? 203.56.94.11 ( talk) 03:58, 27 October 2009 (UTC) Well, considering the game's designers credit the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy as one of their inspirations - something that can be found in the core book - I think it's pretty likely that EP took it from Morgan, rather than the other way around. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.231.52.128 ( talk) 20:52, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
took 'source uncited' template off of the mechanics section, as the source is the book being described. sarcastic comment about the obviousness of this barely restrained. --76.126.133.7 15:14, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
So apparently Loren L. Coleman embezzled three million dollars from Catalyst Games Lab and they've lost production rights for the Old Media version of EP. Should we update the page, or wait for more info? 75.173.87.166 ( talk) 02:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Players do not "roll one 100-sided die (by rolling two ten-sided dice with one of the dice representing a 10 value)", but they do "roll two ten-sided dice to generate a total in the 1-100 range (with one of the dice representing 10s value, and the other representing 1s value)"
No 100 sided dice are required.

I just read the source linked for the above, and it says precisely the opposite of the summary in the opening paragraph.
Namely: Transhuman Space is a high-tech but recognizable future; Eclipse Phase is post-human. The author never once refers to Transhuman Space's mechanics or describes Eclipse Phase's setting as derivative from it.
The only reference to mechanics within the review was a mention of Eclipse Phase's reputation economy.
It appears to be an editor injecting his opinion and attributing it to an independent source. 2601:484:C200:90A0:1C7B:9435:E89E:B365 ( talk) 06:14, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
The Reception section has a tag for expansion. I think it's worth mentioning the Kickstarter for the second edition, which was backed by 2,533 for a total of $187,307(/$35,000 goal). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.173.81 ( talk) 13:18, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
Might be good to note that Posthuman Studios has an official discord ( https://discord.gg/bPkxUxh) that is both a way for them to communicate with fans, and to directly take feedback and do clarifications on rules. The #rules-questions channel is a location one can directly ask other players, and the writers themselves for rule clarifications.
